Photo manipulations are pieces of fan art put together that usually insert actors’ heads onto strangers’ bodies to pair together characters (or celebrities) that the fan wants to see together in lieu of actual photos of them canoodling. I’ve seen Harry Potter fans make manips of Harry and Draco, or other pairings that aren’t canon and will never be acted out in real life.

Since Anastasia and Christian Grey are Bella and Edward, it’s not surprising that there’s a bevy of Master of the Universe fan art starring Kristen and Robert Pattinson. Fans have a lot of material available to them, from the Twilight films to photo shoots to the actors’ non-Twilight films with other stars. (And consider that this was long before the infamous Breaking Dawn wedding night scene!) Going through Tumblr and YouTube, I’ve compiled the following gallery of photo manips and fake trailers/tribute videos. It’s NSFW if you have a really conservative office/classroom; I’ve tried to shy away from anything too explicit.

Eyes Wide Shut is the taboo film sampled for this fake trailer, though the YouTuber does a great job of incorporating a lot of Twilight footage out of context, like Bella thrashing around having a nightmare.

Yeah, I can almost buy RPattz as a successful businessman here. I would’ve liked to see more of Bella Swan’s lip-biting, since that’s the stage that Anastasia is at in the beginning of Master/Fifty Shades.

Please tell me I am not the only one who thinks “BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!” anytime the phrase “Master of the Universe” is uttered. Am I alone here? Please tell me I’m not alone.

I think you mean ‘BY THE POWER OF THE FIFTY SHADES OF GREYSKULL!”

I love the first and the last videos.

And no, Anne, you’re not the only one who thinks that!

With all due respect to the twi-lame sycophants, the second a reference was formed between the EL James novels and any of the poorly-trained, pouty, pubescnt pukes from twi-lame, I was forced to throw them away.

Robert Pattinson as Christian Grey, really? Way too effete and dull of an actor to carry off the “mercurial” character. Kristen Stewart starring as anything other than a dull, morose whiner is a HUGE leap if you ask me based on her previous roles. They both need some serious acting classes that work on more than jutting your jaw out and brooding expressions. Weak.
